Home for the Holidays

Erik and I were talking the other day and he asked what
he got for his first Christmas and I told him he got a trip to Mexico.

Dec. 2002 - Erik (left) and his cousin Wakely

That year we had driven to Mazatlan, camped with a big
group of family/friends by the beach (in trailers, motorhomes, tents), and played. Santa didn’t come looking for us there as
the trip was the Christmas present. We
don’t go every year but Erik has now been 5 times and it is a memory packed tradition!

Dec. 2008 - again Erik (left) and Wakely (well, part of him)

This year we are home for the holidays. It has been nice. Drinking mugs of hot cocoa, baking candied
pecans in the oven, playing games, going on drives to look at the lights and
listening to Christmas music.

But, yesterday Jeff checked the weather in Mazatlan (just
because) and today I heard him whistling the song “Feliz Navidad.”
